HDD Sat Nav

We have new D4 on order - an XS - with HDD Sat Nav!

Any comments re this? How do you update it? How do you add POIs etc. Who's system does it use?

At present we us a Garmin 7200 - a brilliant piece of kit PLUS I have lifetime NUMAPS with full updates every 4 month!

Seems a pity not to be able to make the most of two worlds. LR Discovery 4 XS pulling an Airstream 532 Caravan also own (since new) a 1996 MGF

The system is Jag/LR, and doesn't allow the adding or uploading of POIs.

Map updates are done by the dealer, though updates are purchased via a website.

I have a HSE with the full sat-nav. How do you purchase updates and from what website?

Overall, by the way, I think the sat-nav is a very weak point of the D4. Far too complicated and much less clear than a lowly TomTom, and way behind the COMAND system on my last Merc. Paul

Has anyone determined whether or not you can upload a map from a different region now or is that option still unavailable? I have US maps living in Germany and LR Germany keeps telling me that they can not load Western European maps on my North American model. Any advice?

We had a sport at work (UK) that had Russia map loaded into it, required a new unit to fix the problem!

The LR HDD Satnav is a very expensive low functionality unit....! In Oz we dont even get the TMC because LR Australia is to cheap to buy a license from the provider in Australia.

TMC is different in Oz because it isn't licensed to a user it is licensed to hardware manufactures and it is free to end users, if you own licensed hardware.

When I travel I take my Garmin 1490T as its actually a better unit than the LR HDD Satnav. I can load routes and POI's on the Garmin from PC.

How hard would it be for LR to enable Route and POI uploads via the USB port? Discovery 4 SE Long range fuel tank Kaymar Rear Bar.

Mowog hit the nail on the head

Very disappointed with LR on this one. LR Discovery 4 XS pulling an Airstream 532 Caravan also own (since new) a 1996 MGF

After this weekends fun & games I would suggest a bit of double-sided tape and a Tom-Tom.

My D3 didn't have Sat Nav and I always wished it had.

Now I wish the D4 had a Tom-Tom!
